Finally riding a big boys bike
First warm day after a long cold winter, it's currently a toasty 54 degrees.
I just took out my longest owned bike for a ride. This refirbished Schwinn Varsity and I have been cruising local neighborhoods together off and on since the early 80's.
I usually do not get this one all muddied up anymore, but I thought it was fitting for me to take it out today. It was a great way to start off a new season of warmer weather.
Edit: The snow is melting fast, so I had to pic out oportunities to sneak in photos along parking lots to capture the last of it.
Note: Those with a keen eye may notice it does not have a welded on kick stand mount. That was ground off when it was referbished as this is a never sell bike do to setimental reasons. Before the decision was made to try and make it look decent it still almost got tossed into the trash, It was really that bad. I now tell people it used to be colored red and rust.
